Strategic Planning Documents

ASHRAE Strategic Plan 2014

ASHRAE's four strategic goals—connect, educate, extend, and adapt—serve as broad statements of what the organization most wants and expects to accomplish over the next several years. The goals are supported, in each case, by a handful of objectives that further define specific accomplishments to pursue within the plan horizon.

Each objective should provide guidance for implementing programs of work and testing and responding to various findings. For example, ASHRAE's work to "assess and implement methods to strengthen the member value proposition" will be an ongoing series of experiments and investments that support the broader goal of a vibrant, informed, and engaged member community.
